Mastic sealing in Priestwood, done properly
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. Most enquiries involve damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Priestwood it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In and around smaller places like Priestwood, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Why act early in Priestwood
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Older rural buildings around Priestwood move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Why us?

- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges

Questions about Priestwood
Is a smaller place like Priestwood outside your area?
Not at all. Priestwood is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Sole Street station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.

Block-wide mastic in Priestwood
At about 22 miles from central London, Priestwood is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Rainfall across the South East, Priestwood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Sole Street station, 1.9 miles to the north of Priestwood, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of Our Lady of the Meadow are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Site managers at schools like Meopham School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
